Springs

One of the essential parts of every product that involves motion is a spring. When needed, springs can release mechanical energy that they have stored. In modern products, springs are almost ubiquitous. Let's discuss the many spring types, their uses, and their benefits in this post.

☛ Different Types of Springs and Applications :

(1) COMPRESSION SPRING

We manufacture compression springs in various forms including cylindrical, conical, concave (hourglass), & convex (barrel), Ball(shaker). We manufacture compression springs as tiny as 0.02mm wire diameter and as large as 30mm wire diameter.

(2) TORSION SPRING

We frequently manufacture both plain-end custom torsion springs and those with multiple complex bends. Torsion springs are commonly manufactured from round wire. We can manufacture torsion springs as small as 0.02mm wire diameter and as large as 16mm wire diameter.

(3) EXTENTION / TENSION SPRING

Extension springs are typically designed with closed coils which then open upon application of tensile force. Extension springs are designed with a variety of hook styles depending on the application, such as cross-center, extended, and side hooks. The most common extension spring material is round wire. We can manufacture extension springs as small as 0.02mm wire diameter and as large as 30mm wire diameter.

(4) DIE SPRINGS TYPES AND SIZES

Depending on the forces you need, they come in light, medium, heavy, and extra heavy-duty varieties of springs. In order to select the finest kind of die spring for your application, we can help you. They are normally constructed from rectangular wire with squared ends and a flat ground, which helps prevent spring buckling. Because they can tolerate greater loads, temperatures, and pressures than a typical compression spring, they are often referred to as high force compression springs. These can be utilized in clutch and braking applications.

(5) WIRE FORM

Wire Forms range from simple handle constructions to complex parts with multiple bends. Star Engineering Co. specializes in both. We manufacture complex wire forms, hooks, rings, frames, and clips. Wire forms typically contain a combination of bends to suit the customer’s application.

Our precision 3D bending equipment guarantees repeatability and maintains the closest possible angle tolerances and dimensional tolerances. Unique in our industry, we incorporate both basic steel and spring-tempered wire in manufacturing the custom wire forms we produce. Let us help you manufacture your part effectively and efficiently.

(6) RETAINING SPRING / SNAP RINGS

Star Engineering Co. is a manufacturer of custom wire retaining rings that are used in a variety of industries, especially automotive applications from steering components to the hydraulics. Retaining rings create a shoulder that retains an assembly when they are installed onto a groove on a shaft or in a housing or bore. Wire form rings provide a costeffective alternative to threaded fasteners and other types of retention products because they eliminate the process of threading, tapping, drilling and other machining.

Star Engineering Co. offers a variety of configurations for wire rings and is equipped to meet most application requirements. Our customer base includes industry leaders who demand high levels of service, so all Customers have one point of contact that provides a dedicated focus on their project.
